Electronic devices or sensors dominate everywhere!
What is an Electronic nose?
09/22/18Institute of Technology, Nirma University4
An electronic nose is a device that identifies the
specific components of an odour and analyzes its
chemical makeup to identify it.
An electronic nose consists of a mechanism for chemical
detection.
For example, the Cyranose 320 is a handheld “electronic
nose” developed by Cyrano Sciences of Pasadena,
California.

What are Sensors?
09/22/18Institute of Technology, Nirma University10
A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type
of input from the physical environment.
Classification of Sensors
09/22/18Institute of Technology, Nirma University11
The classification of sensors are as follows:
 Electrochemical sensor
 Infrared sensor
 Conducting polymers
 Metal oxide sensor
 Piezoelectric sensor
 Thermal sensors

IntroductionIntroduction
09/22/18Institute of Technology, Nirma University31
An artificial neural network (ANN) is either a hardware
implementation or a computer program which strives to simulate
the information processing capabilities of its biological exemplar.
ANNs are typically composed of a great number of interconnected
artificial neurons. The artificial neurons are simplified models of
their biological counterparts.
ANN is a technique for solving problems by constructing software
that works like our brains.

Electronic nose presentation1

Editor's Notes

  1. In an ever-developing world, where electronic devices are duplicating every other sense of perception like e-tongue, e-skin, hearing aids and electronic eye, the sense of smell is lagging behind. Yet, recently, there has been an urgent increase in the need for detecting odours, to replace the human job of sensing and quantification.
  2. , such as an array of electronic sensors, and a mechanism of pattern recognition, such as a neural network
  3. The human sniffers are costly when compared to electronic nose. o Speedy, reliable new technology of the gas sensors are used in the electronic nose. o Detection of hazardous or poisonous gas is not possible with a human sniffer. o An e-nose also overcomes other problems associated with the human olfactory system. o For the confirmation of the values obtained from a sniffer the result obtained from the sniffer has to be compared with some other sniffer’s value. o There lies a great chances of difference in the values got by each individual.
  4. An aroma delivery system, which transfers the volatile aromatic molecules from the source material to the sensor array system. A chamber where sensors are housed: this has usually fixed temperature and humidity, which otherwise would affect the aroma molecules adsorption. An electronic transistor which converts the chemical signal into an electrical signal, amplifies it. A digital converter that converts the signal from electrical (analog) to digital. A computer microprocessor which reads the digital signal and displays the output after which the statistical analysis for sample classification or recognition is done.
  5. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any one of a great number of other environmental phenomena.
  6. The world is getting warmer day by day.’ This sentence has started to crop up every now and then in our day to day lives. But seldom do we wonder what it means. What is warmer? How warm is warm? Is it hotter than hot, or just hotter than cold? To our human senses, temperature is only a subjective evaluation. For an objective and reproducible measurement, we need to quantify the temperature values, and to do that, a suitable measurement device is required. This is achieved through the use of temperature sensors
  7. Thermostat is one of the example of contact temperature type sensor.
  8. In clean air, donor electrons in tin dioxide are attracted toward oxygen which is adsorbed on the surface of the sensing material, preventing electric current flow. In the presence of reducing gases, the surface density of adsorbed oxygen decreases as it reacts with the reducing gases. Electrons are then released into the tin dioxide, allowing current to flow freely through the sensor.
  9. The gas sensors fabricated by using conducting polymers such as polyaniline (PAni), polypyrrole (PPy) and poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as the active layers. organic polymers that conduct electricity.[8]
  10. An artificial neural network consists of a pool of simple processing units which communicate by sending signals to each other over a large number of weighted connections.
